Minnesota Vikings - July 30 (rookies and veterans)

What They’re Saying: We’re the defending division champs, we have the best runningback in the game and a top flight defense, we’re going to be fine.

Wish They’d Say: Brett Favre. Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.Brett Favre.

The Coach: Brad Childress, who looks exactly like the Bookmaker from the Untouchables, is a bad coach. He’s managed to be unable to find ways to make the NFC his own despite having arguably the best defense and back in football. He may be able to keep his gig just because his players are so good.

Best Case Scenario: Brett Favre passes on returning, Sage Rosenfels doesn’t eff it up for the defense, and the Vikes get to the Super Bowl despite their coach and quarterback play.

Worst Case Scenario: Favre returns, throws forty interceptions, and has sex on a boat. With the corpse of Korey Stringer. No. It is not too soon.
